Athletes from south central Iowa are heading to the state girls swimming meet.

The Indianola girls swimming team qualified two events at Southeast Polk on Saturday afternoon.

The Indians quartet of Olivia Bacon, Kodi Cram, Kinsli Cram, and Jorja Culver will enter the state meet seeded 26th in the 400 freestyle relay, and 31st in the 200 freestyle relay with the foursome of Kinsli Cram, Kodi Cram, Olivia Ramaeker, and Jorja Culver. The students are all Knoxville Panthers who compete with Indianola as part of a sharing agreement.

Four swimmers from Pella will compete at the 2020 state meet.

On Saturday at the district meet, the 400 yard freestyle relay of Maylei Ruggles, Natalie Boll, Emma Curry, and Hannah Nedder will come in as the 28th seed after a qualifying time of 3:52.81.

Nedder had already qualified in the 100 yard butterfly and is the 13th overall seed in the state, with a 59.07 mark. Nedder has now qualified for the state swimming meet for three consecutive seasons, and Ruggles has now done so two times in a row.

Emily Mills will be going as an alternate, and Emily VanderMolen will be going as team manager.

The Pella swim team competes at the state meet this Friday and Saturday at the Marshalltown YMCA. Tune into the Radio Sports Page this Wednesday to hear from the state qualifying relay.
